Martingale Tests for Model Misspecification in Bayesian Sequence Prediction
May 9, 2026
Using sequential hypothesis testing techniques to check the modelling assumptions of Bayesian mixture estimators is a promising way of getting value out of combining the Bayesian and frequentist approaches to probability. Here’s a paper to show how that can be done for Context Tree Weighting and related methods. Paper Abstract: Universal Bayesian sequence predictors like … More Martingale Tests for Model Misspecification in Bayesian Sequence Prediction
